PP-Performance Works their Magic on the Ferrari F12Berlinetta

A little tune and tweak makes for a lot of fun.
The Ferrari F12Berlinetta is a very impressive grand tourer from Maranello in its own right. It’s what a Ferrari should be – sleek and with a potent V-12 and that exclusive touch. It’s commanding and powerful, and the team at PP-Performance was able to improve upon it even more with a few simple engine upgrades.

The mighty, 6.3-liter V-12 engine sitting ahead of the driver bellows with its glorious 730 naturally-aspirated ponies right off the factory line, sending it to 62 mph in a mere 3.1 seconds. Simply put, this stallion is an impressive beast right from Maranello. PP-Performance pumped up those muscles even more thanks to some good old-fashioned engine modifications.
The 6.3-liter V-12 engine was outfitted with a new BMC Race filter to suck more air in, more efficiently than before. A new FI (Frequency Intelligent) cat-less exhaust system allows the well-fed V-12 to quickly get rid of its combusted gasses with a ferocious sound. PP-Performance’s ECU tuning specialists were able to tune and transform the management system for optimized performance, resulting in a whopping 795 horsepower and 538 lb-ft. of torque, making it quite the performer.

And perform it does. The factory acceleration times are broken pretty easily with the new PP-Performance upgrades. After the transformation, the Ferrari F12Berlinetta is capable of reaching 62 mph from rest in just 2.9 seconds and hitting 124 mph in a mere 8.0 seconds, flat! That shaves 0.2 and 0.5 ticks of the clock off the factory figures, respectively.

The most notable feature of this particular set of wheels is the fact that they’re finished in Carbon Graphite which is quite a unique shade for aftermarket wheels. Elsewhere, they measure 20×9.5 at all four corners and have consequently been joined with 255/30 tyres at all four corners. Completing the visual modifications is a lowered suspension system.

The crew at 3DDesign has just previewed its upcoming styling program for the BMW F8X M3 and M4 models. As we’ve come to expect from the aftermarket tuner, its new components for the M3 and M4 are relatively restrained yet still manage to add an exceptionally eye-catching edge to the German sports car duo.
